Chapter 272: Demon Suppression Island Inscription
From a small tree that had been cut in half, Wang Hao picked up a stone axe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the sap on the blade of the stone axe, which had not yet solidified, Wang Hao knew that there must be someone here just now. It's just that they're all hiding.
Looking back at the huge sailboat, Wang Hao couldn't laugh or cry. It couldn't have been the appearance of the sailboat that scared them all away. I knew that it was such an ending, and I shouldn't have been wearing black armor.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao shouted loudly around: "Don't be afraid, I'm Wang Hao!" ”
Hearing Wang Hao's voice, a figure finally appeared behind a big tree.
"Hao, you... Is? The man hiding behind the tree stammered.
"It's really me!" Wang Hao said with a smile. At the same time, the hairball also climbed up from Wang Hao's back and stood on his shoulder.
Seeing the hairball, the man completely believed Wang Hao's words, and at the same time revealed seven or eight heads from behind the big tree.
At the same time, the man beckoned vigorously at Wang Hao, and then said anxiously: "Hao, hurry... Come here, in the river... Come... Monsters, hidden... In the hollow of the tree! ”
Looking at the man's anxious appearance, everyone behind Wang Hao laughed 'poof'.
"That's not a monster, that's the boat we're on! Haha, I actually recognized the boat as a monster, it really made me laugh! Before Wang Hao could speak, a clansman behind him took the lead in speaking.
However, when he laughed at the rarity and strangeness of the Xie villagers, he completely forgot that when he first saw the boat, it seemed that he was even more unbearable than these Xie villagers.
After listening to Wang Hao's explanation, these people trembled and came out of the hole behind the big tree.
Looking at the sailboat parked on the edge of the pier, and then at the rowing boat by the lake, the man said intermittently: "Hao, in the future... I... Our... Rocking the boat... I can be long, too... Is it that big? ”
Listening to his words, Wang Hao hesitated.
It took a long time to explain before he understood that although these two are boats, they are not the same species. It's like the difference between a small fruit monkey and a devil ape.
Old man Xie was urging everyone to reclaim the land and plant sweet potatoes on the Demon Suppression Island at the moment, and he did not appear at the dock.
After confirming Wang Hao's identity, Xie Cun had already sent someone to row back to inform Old Man Xie.
The few people who stayed here were able to use some simple words to express their meanings, but it was too difficult to communicate.
And often speaks before and after, Wang Hao briefly asked about the recent situation on the island and then stopped. He felt that it would be easier to wait for Old Man Xie to come before chatting.
The few people who came to take care of the dock and the crew of the ship were busy, carrying the things on the ship one by one.
And Wang Hao naturally will not be idle, he raised a fire and started a barbecue with Wang Hu. He wanted to see if he could summon the devil ape.
The rich smell of barbecue came out, and after a while, among the swaying leaves, the figure of the devil ape came out of it.
It relied on the smell and recognized Wang Hao and Wang Hu. beat his chest excitedly, and then ran to sit at a distance from the fire with a greedy face, waiting for Wang Hao's barbecue.
The people of Xie Village, who were unloading the goods, were not afraid of the devil ape, and they interjected while working. During this time, the village would send someone to cook a barbecue for the devil ape every day.
And the devil ape often hunts prey and sends it.
Not only that, but because of the frequent presence of a second-level creature, other beasts near the dock did not dare to approach at all. The devil ape indirectly protects the safety of the docks.
It's just that when Wang Hao came last time, he didn't bring much spices, and he was basically running out when he left.
Although there are incense trees identified by Wang Hao in the forest that can be replaced, the taste is not as good as spices after all.
As a result, the number of times the devil ape comes to look for food is getting less and less.
Looking at the devil ape squatting on the side with a longing face, Wang Hao felt that if he wanted to pull it onto his boat, the spice was absolutely indispensable.
Just when the barbecue was cooked, Old Man Xie also came to the dock on a rowing boat.
When he saw Wang Hao's sailboat, he was also speechless for a while. And then he was actually despised by his people.
Completely forgot the scene when Wang Hao first came, they were so frightened that they all hid in the tree hole.
Old man Xie brought ten rafts and dozens of clansmen, all of whom were used to pull goods.
Wang Hao and the devil ape ate barbecue together, while Old Man Xie reported to Wang Hao the fruits of his labor during this period with a bitter face. Then inhale hard through your nose from time to time.
A few days ago, when he was eating a piece of barbecue that was not yet fully cooked, he accidentally tore out three of his teeth because of too much force. From then on, he decided that he would only eat sweet potatoes and never eat barbecue again.
It's just that when all the information was reported, Old Man Xie couldn't help it, and picked up the barbecue and broke the ring.
The development of Demon Suppression Island is very smooth, and after everyone's efforts during this time, basically one-twentieth of the land has been reclaimed.
Zhenmo Island is very large, and in Wang Hao's opinion, if the population of Xie Village does not increase, and if the tools for cultivating land do not improve, except for the manpower that mines asphalt and the rest of the village's sundries, the remaining people can only cultivate one-third of the land at the same time at most.
After reporting the results of this time, Old Man Xie also brought a piece of news that Wang Hao was very interested in.
After cleaning up the guano and opening some of the caves buried by guano at the bottom of the mountain, Old Man Xie found that there were many caves in the rows below, and there were many caves with handwriting engraved on the walls.
Not only that, but Old Man Xie even found a severed iron tool in a cave.
Wang Hao saw that the rusty iron had been corroded under the power of time, and he could only vaguely see a vague chisel.
In this regard, Wang Hao was not too surprised. Since seeing the ruins of the ancient city where he went on the exchange day, Wang Hao has understood that in the distant past, there was definitely a glorious civilization in the Great Wilderness.
It's just that Wang Hao can't figure out what is the reason for the decline of that civilization, or even the disappearance of nothing.
Although Wang Hao was curious, he didn't pay much attention to these things. After all, he is not an archaeologist, and his wish is to be able to live well. Of course, he would be happier if he could enjoy all the high-tech conveniences on earth.
It's just that when he heard Old Man Xie say that there was still handwriting left in the cave, Wang Hao's heart was still moved, and he wanted to see what those words were written.
Wang Hu was left here to make a barbecue for the devil ape, and by the way, he commanded the handling of the goods, while Wang Hao, on the rocking boat, took the lead in following Old Man Xie back to the island.
At the beginning, the stone tablet on the Demon Suppression Island left a deep impression on Wang Hao.
Although it is not written in clear text on the stele, it implies that Demon Suppression Island is the sealing place of the entrance to the Demon Realm, and praises the people and gods who sealed the Demon Realm in the first place.
Although Wang Hao didn't believe it at the time, Wang Hao was still shocked when he climbed the stone mountain in the center of the Demon Suppression Island and overlooked the magic eye in the lake.
In the whole wilderness, Wang Hao didn't go to many places, but he also saw a lot of strange landforms.
For example, the sinkhole on the site of the old stone village. Another example is the strange place of Zhaocun, which is separated by a line of desert and oasis.
But these places, no matter how weird they are, in Wang Hao's view, can be explained and there are traces to follow.
Only the magic eye in the big lake by the Demon Suppression Island made Wang Hao incomprehensible.
Could it be that under the Demon Suppression Island, it is really the Demon Realm.
Although the stone mountain is very large, since it can accommodate a thousand people, it is naturally not too short. Otherwise, the last time I climbed the mountain, with Wang Hao's physical fitness, I wouldn't have felt a little out of breath. Its height is probably comparable to that of the tallest Izumo Tree in the Black Forest.
After countless years of accumulation of snake badger birds, even a quarter of this rocky mountain has been buried by guano. Even the guano piled up underneath has crystallized into hard rock.
Cultivating land requires a lot of fertilizer. And these well-fermented guano droppings are the best fertilizers.
It is precisely because of this that the people of Xie Village were able to excavate the caves that were once hidden by bird droppings.
It is also because the entrance of the cave is buried by bird droppings, and there is no air in the cave, that those iron tools that are prone to decay can be preserved, and the words in the cave can not be worn out by time.
You must know that the stone monument of Zhenmo Island is so huge, each word is divided into three points, despite this, there are still some fonts that have been worn out in the years, and those fonts with shallow notches in the cave have naturally been preserved for a shorter time.
"Is it in this cave that you found a word carved on the wall?" Standing at the entrance of the cave, Wang Hao asked the old man Xie.
"Well, this side is closer to the cultivated land, so it is natural to take a little more fertilizer, and after digging out the cave, the people are curious, so they naturally dig more, and then dig the cave out. Beneath it, there must have been other caves, but they hadn't been dug up yet. Old man Xie said.
The guano here turned into crystalline for an unknown number of years, and it doesn't smell bad.
Wang Hao looked at the swarthy entrance of the cave, took the torch in Old Man Xie's hand, and bent down and walked in. (To be continued.) )
